Star and Planet Formation

Antennas of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) from Chile, the largest radio telescope of the world.

We investigate the conditions under which stars and planetary systems form.

For this purpose we make use of world-class ground-based telescopes as well as space observatories. For the planing and the analysis of our observations we develop and apply state-of-the-art numerical simulations.

Students are always welcome to join our group during their undergraduate studies, to work on their Bachelor and Master theses.
